Open, or unused connectors and wall plates are un-terminated, and un-terminated cable or transmission lines reflect energy. Such signal reflections feed back into the main cable/satellite system, reducing both signal quality and signal to noise ratio (SNR) throughout the entire home.

THE TRUTH ABOUT WHOLE-HOUSE CABLING

Open, or unused
connectors and wall plates are un-terminated, and un-terminated cable or
transmission lines reflect energy. Such signal reflections feed back
into the main cable/satellite system, reducing both signal quality and
signal to noise ratio (SNR) throughout the entire home.

Homes today incorporate more connectivity features than ever before. Most
modern home design and construction specifies pre-wired capabilities in all
living spaces. Telephone outlets are found in almost every room, and many homes
are wired for home theater, whole-house music, communications, alarm, and local
area network systems. The benefits of such systems, sometimes called "Smart
Homes" are obvious; they provide the homeowner or tenant with added
convenience, safety, organization and fun. So why don't we all have whole-house
cabling? After all, the cables and connections are available when you need them,
and sit idly by in fashionable wall plates when you don't, right? Not until now.

Open, or unused connectors and wall plates are un-terminated, and
un-terminated cable or transmission lines reflect energy. Such
signal reflections feed back into the main cable/satellite system, reducing both
signal quality and signal to noise ratio (SNR) throughout the entire home. In
other words, the open wall plates will effectively reduce the picture and sound
quality of all the televisions, VCRs, Internet connections, etc. in the home.
Signal degradation is particularly profound at higher frequencies such as those
of broadband digital, broadcast video or high-resolution computer graphics. The
increased presence of wireless telephones, routers and networks, CB and HAM
radio, and other such devices, causes additional erosion to an already weakened
signal quality.

Terminated connectors are not available for F-connections, which are used in
the typical home environment.

Fortunately, Revotech's new
RJAX 6040 Self-Terminating Wall Plate consistently and correctly terminates each
section of unused cable, without the need to remove any cabling from the home.
RJAX 6040 employs a resistor, which is activated automatically when the male
plug is removed, consistently and correctly terminating each section of unused
cable, preventing emissions feedback, and improving signal strength by reducing
loss.

C1M1 offers a truly significant reduction in transmission time in comparison to other communicators that rely on dial capture or data bus decoding. This can result in quicker response time to emergency situations which could save lives and assets. By providing both IP and cellular pathways, C1M1 provides the reliability installers are looking for in an alarm communicator.
C1M1 eliminates port forwarding and extra fees for remote access. Installers can remotely upload/download programming changes to M1 controls over IP or cellular using ElkRP2. Consumers can control the M1 remotely via the free ElkLink mobile app and web portal, as well as eKeypad and M1 Touch Pro apps. Other IP-based software and interface partners can connect to the M1 control over the local network through C1M1. C1M1 also provides email/text notifications for arm, disarm, and alarm events.
ELK-C1M14GSM supports GSM (AT&T/T-Mobile) networks and ELK-C1M1CDMA supports CDMA (Verizon) networks.
